Why do people ask questions about Creation Theory, when they obviosly have thier mind already made up?
This is more a statement than a question, I have just answered a question, where the asker voted Best answer for an answer that stated, "There is extensive Data proving that Big Bang "THEORY' and Evolution are real", and not a Creator (God). When Evolution is a Fact, but limited to as to how far back it can be traced, there is a Missing link. Big Bang is just a Theory, and no more Far Fetched than Creationism, except for the Fact that the Law of averages, states that an accident, like Life among Chaos, can be reproduced, and would be much more abundant (especially since the earth is only 4 Billion years old, yet the Cosmos is 14 billion years old <ball park>, when I was growing up, Science Stated that the earth was 425 Billion years old and there was no telling how old the Cosmos was, or will be). Thus Creation (A sentient order to this Chaos is far more Viable than random life sprouting from no where), however, all are just Theories and require Faith (whether it be in Science, Creation, or both). If they were not only Hypothetical and Theory (If there is so much Data to support any one or more than one, they would not be Theories, they would be infoulable Scientific fact.
Lastly, who's to say that Evolution didn't happen it what god calls days.
Oh, and another question I answered must have shaken someone up so much, because they deleted thier Question.
This reminds me of Albert Einstien's Definition of stupidity of doing something over and over again and expecting different results.
Some peoples kids are just idiots, and want to justify it, or just justification that they will be O.K. and won't be left out, and will come up with anything to get it. Even if the only one who can ensure that is themselves, what thier doing is just empty Greediness. I could keep going on this, but why?
Here's the question:

P.S. I am a Taoist.
****By the way the correct spelling for "Chi" is Qi, and Lao Zi is not the Father of Taoism, It's older than that, the Oldest "surviveing" Copy of some of his works are older than what has been found (and Translated over 200 times, most of which is opinionated by Western Translators (similar to the King James Version of the "Bible" <which is a compilation of works>), Confucious would be one of (and the most famous of) the Masters of Taoism, Sun Tzu is another, Buddha another, Shiva another, etc., Jesus').
Sorry, I am just venting but I really like the answers/feedback
I have 6 Doctorates in Divinity (2 Honorary <Ordained>, 1 not), Theology (1 Honorary <Ordained>), and Philosophy (1 Honorary, 1 not), none are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. I am a Disabled Veteran, and Have been to 30+ Countries, 20+ states, was raised Catholic, Baptist, and Jewish. My First Language was Dutch, then Gaelic Irish (includes tons of folklore and superstitous conversation), and then English. I have studied with both Chinese (Taoist and Zen) Buddhist monks and some of Thailands Therravadda Buddhist monks. And have dove deep into the Mythological side of Theology, Philosophy, and Religion. Mostly Research, I am not into the preaching thing...
I meant That Creationism, and the Big Bang are nor more Far Fetched than each other, and There is not as much evidence to Creationism as Science because the Creationist are not searching for the answers (worst case scenario, they are still good people) because they have faith. There are just not that many of us nowadays as well to do the research, I am not sure if I made it clear, but I think Science has proven that thier is a Creator, and that evolution was one of his methods for Creating, the difference between me and a Scientologists (Church of religous Science) is, that Scientologist don't believe that the Creator will Destroy his Creation, and I think he would.
I also mentioned that I was merely venting my frustration.

According to the Noah's Ark "Fable", God will never punish the world for the sins of Mankind again, but if the world is guilty of the same crimes as mankind was and is, than Yeah, I believe he would

When I say Evolution, I mean through Reincarnation, Possible, Transmigration, and "Soul" Transferance (making us all older than we think we are). I don't like the word Soul, it's more a figureitive term describing our Personal individual Sentience based on our heart, all others who are Heartless are really souless and/or will be. While Soul itself belongs to god.
The Penticle is not a Demonic thing, it is actually the 5 pointed star, each point represents something different, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Heart, the 5 Elements. It's very Yin and Yang. The Demonic Version came from a Handful of Europeans who said that thier Nieghbors were Goat-like (Gluttonous) for not shareing thier wealth with them, even though thier nieghbors only had enough for themselves, thus the makers of the Goatlike (Pentagram) were the Gluttons, and Envious, Greedy, Slothful, etc. It became an idol for Hexing/Curseing, Eventually some people just said yeah whatever and adopted it

The theory of Gravity is a Theory along the same lines as Creationism, no one really knows for sure How it works (it takes more than Centrifical Force, and it takes the right amount at that), it cannot be proven, but it is assumed to works because it is here making it an "Applied or Practical Scientific Theory", Physics used to be part of Philosophy and I have studied it some. Theories are "Speculative or Glimpsed" not proven, or proveable in most cases (yet), some exceptions are made for certain theories but hey are theories none the less.
Religion is a test, by a god with trust issues, who wants to be Gentle, and generous, but only to those he has a Kinship with.
Philosophy Still Includes Epistemology, which is basically still Physics, in a Broader form.

Presumably, people ask questions about things despite having minds that are already made up because they are making statements rather than questions. Just like you do here (ironically enough).
I will add that what I’d like to see is for biased questioners to let voters decide about best question. That’s what I do. You should too.
> When Evolution is a Fact, but limited to as to how far back it can be traced, there is a Missing link. Big Bang is just a Theory, and no more Far Fetched than Creationism
The point is that evolution and the big bang model account for the available evidence, and allow further predictions of what evidence we should find in the future. Those predictions are continually borne out by new evidence. Creationism doesn’t do that.

It boils down to epistemology.
Science has a formal method, while religions are much more lax in the area of epistemology, and instead adopt an objective morality conjecture.
The reason evolution, and physics is a fact, is because by definition these fields provide quantified physical data as evidence that validates a given theory.
When you are skeptical without satisfaction that qualifies and quantifies a claim by a standard or burden of proof, it is not precisely the same as the concept of religious faith.
Religious faith is rather an axiom that if you believe, then eventually you will know...but not until you are dead?
(this raises a red flag in my mind, but I am in no hurry to prove religious claims so I guess it is just as well)
Without this physical data a theory is as you say "just a theory".
But if this evidence is readily demonstrable by a quantified empirical experiment, then a theory is not "just a theory" it is a practical tool for using knowledge about "god's creation".
This is why people lose faith when they become injured or ill, and go to a hospital for treatment with science, rather than going to church and praying that god will heal them.
Science is more reliable than religion in terms of epistemology.
Einstein did not define stupidity as you have quoted though it is a popular misquotation.
However the quote is simply wrong, because doing different things and expecting the same result is hardly a definition of genius.

Creationism is not a theory and I really wish people would stop falling all over themselves to give the benefit of the doubt to rank, proven liars. Creationists deliberately LIE about evolution. Anyone who has ever tried to have a discussion with them knows this.
